Well, this is good news, since things are clearly moving forward on Cyberpunk 2077. The game has seemingly been in development forever, and continues to look spectacular in every glimpse that we’ve gotten.

One thing has been a constant though, in that we haven’t gotten a sniff of a launch date. This past E3 didn’t help much either, with the developer calling it a “next-generation” title. That does not bode well. Or at least, it didn’t.

This week though, brings news that Warner Bros has picked up Cyberpunk for distribution. That’s not the biggest of news really, but it does lend a little hope that we might see the game before the next-gen of consoles arrives.

In fact, as of right now anyway, you can be sure of it. The press release actually names the Xbox One, PS4, and (naturally) PC as the platforms it’ll arrive on.

“We’ve worked with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and both releases turned out to be really successful, so we’re entering this new stage of our cooperation with great confidence,” says Michał Nowakowski, CD PROJEKT’s Member of the Board and SVP of Business Development. “Cyberpunk 2077 is our biggest and most ambitious project to date, and I’m really looking forward to all the amazing things we can achieve together.”

“CD PROJEKT RED is one of the best game development studios in the world and it’s great to be working with the team again,” said Kevin Kebodeaux, Senior Vice President, Sales, Americas, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Cyberpunk 2077 is a standout title and we are expecting great things from our continued collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED.”
